I am an animation director. I use different techniques (traditional, 2D, motion graphics and 3D) and software (After Effects, Flash, Maya and Premiere)
I'm also an illustrator. When I start an illustration I use paper , pen and ink, and then if required Illustrator or Photoshop , depending on the finish I wanted .
I started late last century, I worked in several studies until I get in Iskra, where I have developed professionally for 14 years, first as a animator and later as animation director. It was a small studio so the job included perform or supervise: storyboard, direction, design animation , composition , postproduction… so I learned the full animation process.
Since 2007 I started making a few jobs as freelance. Since 2013 I became independent and it has become my only job.
I’ve worked for very important spanish companies such as Canal + , Tve , Canal Viajar , Ferrovial , UPyD, Bankinter , BBVA, Movistar or Pfizer.
